ABSTRACT
Tracheostomy for management of severe laryngomalacia is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Two cases are reported wherein the laryngeal abnormality was corrected by ary-epiglottic fold incision and CO2 laser supraglottoplasty. Stridor and respiratory obstruction were relieved and a long term tracheostomy avoided. Endoscopic correction of laryngomalacia offers significant benefits over conventional treatment with tracheostomy in terms of decreased morbidity and improved quality of life.
